Rousey recently revealed on her YouTube channel that she had something different in mind for her Extreme Rules match against Liv Morgan in Philadelphia. Here’s what Rousey said in her video: The anything-goes match eventually went the way of Rousey. She trapped Morgan using a triangle choke that wedged Morgan’s head in between Rousey’s shin, thigh, and a massive chunk of the broken table that eventually forced the referee to step in and award Rousey the win. They said we can’t use thumbtacks anymore. That legally we can’t like purposefully, like, injury people, like cut through skin and stuff. I don’t know. Although it was a match where everything goes, as the name suggests, WWE fans would’ve been shocked to see thumbtacks. Neither Morgan nor Rousey have the reputation for such kinds of matches. If nothing else, it would’ve made for a very entertaining bout. Unfortunately, WWE’s switch to the PG era all but guarantees that we won’t be coming back to such fights anytime soon. However, the AEW is brazen in its approach. Who’s to say that this won’t eventually force WWE’s hands? If this happens, the WWE would be smart to approach Rousey first for a match that involves thumbtacks.
